Using a mod_python output filter is certainly another choice, it can be
used to do the same thing as mod_replace, you just need to code what
you want done yourself. For getting something done quickly, you might
be better off using mod_replace as suggested since you just have to
install it and configure it.

If still interested in doing it using mod_python, look up output filters in
the mod_python documentation. There have also been past discussions
on the mailing list about output filters with examples, for example:

  http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2006-April/020870.html

Thus, use the search box on mod_python site to search through past
discussions on output filters.
